After the Oscar's by Sir Jeremiah Kennedy

 went to Starbucks at 2:30 so I would have my caffeine in order to stay up and watch the Oscars. 

I am usually in bed my 8 pm for 



other reasons, mostly sadness about being sheltered and being alone. But I had my Tea and a 
double espresso in order to stay up. 


The Oscars had 2 tributes. One for hero's and one for Super Hero's. both tributes were not tied to 
a single film but for the American 

films that celebrated these two features. It brought me great joy for the Academy of Motion Pictures to find the time on there night 

to celebrate those American's who have given there personal life to be a hero or maybe even a super hero. We are America. We can

 become hero's. We can see the good over the evil. It's not easy in fact it hard when you learn you can actually fly in your dreams or 

see the thousand points of light when your eyes your open and looking at the sky. It is not easy to say I will not have my life turned 

upside down, in order for you to become a super hero. I Was in New York Central Park one night on a cruise for gay men. And when

 coming out on 72 nd street up the steps I say Christopher Reeve, who I saw many times at HBO. But at the time he was died. It was 

him he jogged past me. I hope his was erased and is still alive. He was 2 feet away from my face. You see as the receptionist at HBO 

Inc. many stars came through I was I saw Christopher come threw many times as well as Allec Baldwin and other stars visiting the 

offices of Peggy Seigal who just happened to have offices within the HBO on 42 street building. Then After I meet Princess Diana an

d others including Pope John Paul II and President Clinton. Then I new in 1995- 1997 after meeting all those people that maybe 

America needed me. Then During the Bosnia War...Mission Impossible came out. And Tom Cruise said 5 times "Toast" while in the CiA 

Vaults thats I new it was real. I cried at that point in the film. And I knew that I was not just an American, but something more. I hope 


this helps my new friend I am not writing this for my self but for you or those who think that they maybe a "Super Hero". T.
